Abies magnifica shastensis (Shasta Red Fir)
Abies magnifica shastensis (Shasta Red Fir) resembles California red fir and the noble fir. They thrive in the cold, damp woods at higher elevations above 4,500 feet. The Shasta fir, like its assumed progenitors, is shade intolerant, although it may be more fire resistant than the noble fir. The young silvertip is a highly desired Christmas tree because of its attractive form and color and its ability to keep its needles. It is a desirable timber tree because of the quality of its wood.
